Why the hell do they have the main D&B from 12-3pm though!? I've been saving a happy for it but I don't really fancy being off my nut in the middle of the day - guess everyone else there will though so perhaps I'll go for it.

Can anyone tell me where the G Stage is? And the Roots Stage? I thought they might be in the dance area but not sure.

Why are Babyshambles on twice :x

and why not the Yeovil Town Band?

they're on the other stage on friday, then in the leftfield on saturday night. goldie lookin chain are amongst a few others who will be playing more than one set, its quite common apparently.

I havnt got the time to figure out what I'm going to see in any great detail right now. might do it at home later though.

Anyone know what the deal is with "the Chemical Bothers present Glint"?

Is it the chems playing a DJ set or is it just their mates or recommended DJ's?

I'd be tempted to get my raving shoes on for the Chems, but it would have to be pretty good to make me miss the Killers & White Stripes.

i guarantee you it will be superb, piemonte. if you like them i wouldn't miss it.

its the 2 'brothers' plus 'special guests. isn't ian brown around too? wouldn't be surprised if he came along for that track they did together. expect anyone else they've colabed with who's at the festival to also make an appearance.

i think they're calling it glint just so they can do some more non-album-based stuff.

there are also rumours of them doing a 'secret' 7am set on sunday.


we'll be flying a seychelles flag at our tents (chosen because of the colours):

http://www.countryreports.org/flag/gifs/Seychelles.gif

so if any off you happen to see it and fancy a smoke pop over and say hello. we're camping in the triangular field behind the pyramid stage with the toilets in it.

I can see myself wandering up to a tent with a seychells flag a bit worse for wear

Piemonte       "which one of you lot is the scummer then?"
Random man "Eh?"
Piemonte       "an Oxford fan"
Random Man  "I'm from the seychelles mate, I support Seychelles United"
Piemonte       "www.thetownend.com means nothing to you?"
Random man  " errrrr no"
Piemonte        " I see, I appear to already have my coat"

Its a hard one to call OF. get mullered out of my face and see the Chems + pals or see 2 of the bands I'd like to see most at the whole event.

Damn you Eavis

I think i will be camping in Pennards down the bottom.  Allegedly its perfect for staggering back from Stone Cirle/Lost Vagueness etc in the early hours.

I still dont really know where to pitch the tent. I'm just gonna see where looks nice on wednesday afternoon I think.

Bought a decent tent from Millets on saturday. 3 man job with a reception area(!) for £60.  Me & the mrs should have plenty of room. 8)

I'm expecting an "order" through tonight too :\/

We picked up a bargain 4 man from Halfords for £39.99.

Camp bed from Argos was only £4.99 also!!  8)

of you have never been to glastonbury have you? i bet you only see 2 bands

I think that's what's going to happen with the company I'm keeping.

I'll probably just stumble about and listen to what ever is close.

yeah, that's my list for if i were to stick to my schedule, but i know in reality i'll probably get distracted for 2 hours by someone walking on stilts dressed as a cow and miss a load.

blue and yellow
red white and green

it's perfect for your split loyalties 8)

:D

didn't notice that, how appropriate

(n.b. although there aren't really any split loyalties)

How many of you going oxford?

Going down with 5 mates one of them being a bird I have had a result with in the past so may be on for a re-run.  

Meeting another two there and know another 3-4 people who have luxury campers who we should hook up with.  Bastards even have Sky!

I really really want to go this year, I've never cared about it before and now I'll have to wait two years :(

5 of us.

can't understand all of this luxury malarkay, when the hell are they going to have time to watch sky!?

all you need is a bed and some shelter, anything extra is just pointless when there's so much to see and do.

whatever you do make sure you try some of the hot cider from the cider bus!

i've heard the pear cider is scrumptilicious.

I dunno I like my luxury, we tried to get a camper then looked at a caravan but the prices for that weekend where ridiculous.

Definately got to check out Lost Vagueness the night club.  They hand you a tux or dome sort of old school outfit on the way in, it's supposed to be absolutely mental.

Hot cider sounds interesting.

sweet jesus that's a lot of bands! also are you really gonna watch babyshambles twice?

here's my provisional list

Friday:

dead 60s
john butler trio or evil nine (i'll decide on the mood i'm in)
babyshambles
bloc party
roots manuva
chemical brothers


saturday:

the stands
G love
DJ format
interpol
new order then leave early for magic numbers
coldplay (but may leave early to catch some Go! Team)


Sunday:

brendon benson
jools holland
brian wilson
primal scream
proberly watch the Jaxx but maybe 2 Many DJ's it's too hard to choose

i'll no doubt have a visit to the acoustic tent at some point too

wow someone else who likes brendan benson, he's ace.

yeah saw him in bristol fleece and firkin couple of months ago, i had a spare ticket aswell you coulda had it!!
we saw him outside before the gig too, was the same when i saw the killers at the fleece, they were just standing around outside before the gig too, but there again they were unheard of and didn't even sell out the 300 capacity pub!

my mate just told me g love does some stuff with jack johnson, any good rappers delight?

yeah some of his stuff is good, i'm mainly going in the hope that jack johnson will be there!! but his solo stuff is good also, acoustic on some, MC'ing on others. also check out this little number they did together on the radio, fucking ace!! it's cover of 'holiday' by madonna and 'who do you love' by juicy lucy

i'm well pissed off that jack ain't there doing a slot especially since he was on the original glasto clash finder

check this g love and JJ song out though
http://s27.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2YR40O116RDTW06BHSL876R4PU[/url]

the stages are very far apart and also there'll be loads of people around too... stage-hopping is not an option. best thing to do is pick a couple of acts a day that you MUST see, and see how it goes apart from that.

but do try and check out dj format's ill culinary behaviour...

 8)  

this'll be my 4th time i've seen them live

Dave did you ever see El Presidente, any good?

Albums out Monday and I have HMV vouchers burning holes in my pocket.

Herd some of their stuff and it's not bad.

While I'm digging up old threads anyone got any Festival plans for 06?

What I want to know is did everyone see all the bands they had planned to see?

I did the Carling Weekend this year and saw pretty much all the bands I wanted to see.

Plus the Bravery and quite a few bands I have completely forgot about now.  

Surprised just how many bands I caught given the general state of affairs.

I'd have quite liked to have seen some fat boy as I was high as a kite that night but we just got fucked in the mud and once you go down you’re staying down.

I saw about 75% of what i wanted to, as there was other stuff that caught my imagination while i was there (Beatles tribute band in the Acoustic Tent, for example). Missed El Presidente, and kinda forgot they existed to be honest.

Never been to Glasto ... maybe we could have a TEF tent next time??

Fucking hell Oxford, given the amount of time I spent out of it to have missed as much as you did you must have been completely twatted most of the time.

naah, i wasn't that bad. on the 2nd day i decided to hang out with my gay mainstream (they stood by the pyramid basically the whole time) mates rather than mishing it around on my own.
